§ 10 Responses to The evolution of stupid

In more Enlightened circles, the scientist archetype is seen as one of the best (if not the best, or perhaps even the only) manifestation of the New Man, rational and free from superstition, deceit and bias. The importance of this eidolon is such that it can withstand common sense and everyday observations about human nature.

I especially like how this is a novel and interesting result.

For the Enlightened, their view can only collapse under its own weight. Which is what is happening: just as banishing God from science severely undermines belief in the rationality of scientists, treating scientists as god-men falls when science demonstrates that scientists are but men.

The funny thing about this is that this whole study about crap science was conducted by the machinery of, wait for it… crap science.
Zippy, does this not all mesh, in a way, with the whole liberal / conservative false reality? That science itself is a poor tool to metaphysically speak about itself because of it’s own limitations?
